Class Title

History:

Since the advent of the earliest arcane schools, many wizards attempted to not only research new spells, but to alter the ones they have already mastered. Arcane students who wish to attempt to bend the raw energies to make the spells more powerful have become known as wild mages due to the at times random nature of their pursuits.

Role:

Almost any arcane student can attempt the wild arts. Many guilds look down upon wild mages, as their spells can at times endanger their commrades. However, on many occasions throughout history, the power of an arcane wild master has overcome even the mightiest of dragons.

Game Rule Information:

Prerequisites: Ability to cast 2nd level arcane spells. Feat: Iron Will. Concentration 4 ranks. May not be a specialist arcane caster.

Armor and Weapon Proficiency- No additional armor or weapon proficiency is offered.

Arcane Synergy: Wild Mage levels stack with other arcane levels when determining caster level of other class spells.

Spells: The wild mage chooses an arcane class and may advance his spells known based on that classes spell selection and list.

Elemental Substitution: The Wild Mage can opt to substitute one element for another when appropriate. Any spell that is elementally aligned with fire, Air, Earth, or Water may substitute an element from another element in all parts of the description. For example, a Wild Mage may substitute Cold for Fire in a Fireball spell. This spell now doescold instead of heat damage. This ability requires a successful wild casting with a +4 modifier for the effect.

Wild Talents The arcane caster may choose to add spells from the list of Wild Spells in addition to spells he already has access to as a result of his normal class.

Wild Casting: The Wild Mage can opt to cast any spell as a wild magic spell. In order to cast a spell as a wild magic spell, the caster must successfully make a DC of the saving throw modifier of the spell. Before the die is cast, a wild mage may opt to increase the DC of the wild check in order to increase the base DC of the spell by the same amount. Add any bonus for the primary attribute asscoiated with their casting and the Wild Mage Level to the die roll to determine if the check was a success. A success indicates that the Wild Mage has successfully increased the DC of the saving throw, and in addition, casts the spell 1d4 levels higher than planned. If the roll was not a success, any saving throw increase is lost, and in addition the caster level is reduced by 1d4 levels. Furthermore, if the die roll fails by 10 or more, the spell is completely lost. Always, a natural roll of 10 is a surge.

Use Wild Device: At fifth level, the wild mage can make a wild check DC 15 to control the effects of randomized magical devices (rods of wonder, deck of many things, etc.). If the roll succeeds, the wild mage can direct the behavior of the device for one round. If the roll fails, the device operates normally.
